No fewer than 250 babies are delivered monthly, and about 14,000 yearly at Obio Cottage Hospital in Port Harcourt, an official has said.
Dr Akinwunmi Fajola, Health Manager at Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited, disclosed this to journalists on Monday.
He explained that Obio Cottage Hospital, funded by Renaissance Energy and its Joint Venture (JV) partners, was established as part of a broader strategy to offer affordable healthcare to people with low incomes.
According to Fajola, the hospital, established in 2010 in collaboration with the Rivers State Government, provides maternal, neonatal, child, primary and general medical care under the Community Health Insurance Scheme (CHIS).
Fajola said that the hospital had recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system as part of plans to enhance healthcare efficiency and patient-centred service delivery.
He further stated that the hospital had achieved notable success in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
He commended the state government, the company’s partners, and the hospital staff for their commitment to delivering quality healthcare services to the people.
The Renaissance Energy JV has plans to upgrade and expand the hospital further, in line with its corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at benefiting more patients.
